The BMW Individual 760Li Sterling Inspired by ROBBE &
BERKING

MUNICH, GERMANY - oCTOBER 24, 2013: A manufactory implies one-off
products, traditional craftsmanship, perfection and the fulfilment of the
most discerning requirements. Those are the principles which the BMW
Individual Manufaktur has followed for more than 20 years now. What began
in the early 1990s as a bespoke BMW 750Li for Karl Lagerfeld has since
evolved into a byword for customisation at the very highest level.
“The BMW Individual Manufaktur is not so much a place as an idea that
becomes reality on a daily basis. That idea is total customer
orientation,” explains Friedrich Nitschke, President BMW M GmbH.
“Here each vision of exclusivity is turned into reality.” But
BMW Individual not only creates one-of-a-kind automobiles, it also designs
and completes market-specific special editions and models, for example in
its collaborations with watchmaker Girard Perregaux or with the renowned
concert grand manufacturers Steinway & Sons. Besides the BMW Individual
Manufaktur there is also the BMW Individual Collection, which rounds off
the BMW Individual offering with equipment ranges that are perfectly
matched to the various BMW model series and include exclusive paint
finishes, high-quality leather appointments and interior trims.

Striving for perfection.

Through its joint ventures with renowned enterprises, the BMW Individual
Manufaktur has in recent years managed to push the envelope further while
at the same time setting new benchmarks for exclusivity. The highlight to
date is the BMW Individual 760Li Sterling inspired by ROBBE & BERKING.
ROBBE & BERKING are among the most tradition-steeped silver manufacturers
of our day. Each of their products is an expression of consummate
craftsmanship and corroborates the company claim to create pleasure not
just for a lifetime but for generations. “BMW and ROBBE & BERKING
share far more than a passion for elegant, classic yachts – we apply
the same standards to our products: in addition to pure technical utility,
pleasing the customer is a foreground consideration,” explains Oliver
Berking, the fifth-generation owner and CEO of ROBBE & BERKING. “At
the same time our products embody the ethos of the manufactory – a
striving towards perfect craftsmanship and timeless elegance coupled with
keen attention to the smallest detail. The BMW Individual 760Li Sterling
inspired by ROBBE & BERKING is a wonderful illustration of this.”

Adrian van Hooydonk, Senior Vice President BMW Group Design, adds this:
“On my first visit to ROBBE & BERKING, I was particularly impressed
by the high degree of tradition-led handcraftsmanship and the rigorous
pursuit of optimal solutions. That passion is also the hallmark of our
shared product.”
